Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor: Dana White Not Involved in Negotiations

[khizon]

I'll buy this fight if it's the undercard of Canelo-GGG.

Its still impossible to say. We have no idea what Floyd is asking for and whether UFC can ever get Conor on board with any final deal. No doubt Floyd is asking for the lion's share of profit split and a higher purse, who knows if that's OK with McGregor and the UFC..

I'd argue this is found money on both sides and for all parties.

You don't argue with the ground that it's only $50 on the floor instead of $100 or stare too long at the $50 bill sitting there on a windy day. You step on that mfer and grab it and grin a lil at your good fortune.

Fight is happening.

Dana is not the lead on this but he's involved somewhere in that mix. Same as Leonard, both are there involved.

Lol idk about all that. I think Dana & Leonard would be fetching beverages, a cobb salad & confirming dinner reservations or at most getting versions of contracts drawn up and updated for Ari and Al. Ari and Al damn near another species to Dana and Leonard mongoloid asses.

Good, I'd much rather they come to terms and pick a date soon, rather than stretch it out over the next few years when everyone will lose interest.

haymon and wme/ari have always been involved but dana likes to act like he controls everything.... After he ran his mouth on inside the nba on tnt im sure ari told him to relax lol

aah ok, interesting

Well f#ck. I think I just altered my opinion. Fight is definitely going to happen.

I thought the new UFC owners were so knuckleheaded they were legit gonna put Dana in charge of getting this thing made & I suspected he'd sabotage it one way or another. If Ari & Al are talking those mfers will figure sh^t I'd be willing to bet.

My money is on Nov. 4 or Nov. 11 cuz I'd bet they don't wanna wait til Saint Paddy's day 2018 when they would likely be able to maximize their upside.

Staging this fight on St. Patrick's Day would be a disaster. Thousands of Irishmen would lay dead in the streets of Vegas from alcohol poisoning that weekend.

my take.....

White was talking like he was running the show

" Conor has signed the contract, and I will be meeting with Team Mayweather on Monday "

wtf? nobody thought that sounded funny ?

since when did the Mayweather show - and that is what it is ladies and gentlemen - suddenly become the Dana White show?

since when was White ever going to run that show ?

and the money they were talking sounded highly optimistic

why would Mayweather concede control to White?

I didn't think that sounded very likely

my take.....

White was dreaming..... it fell over..... and either McGregor, Mayweather, or both, escalated the negotiation to the UFC chiefs

McGregor most likely threatened to walk

what will fk Dana White, is that Mayweather and McGregor are talking..... unlike Mayweather/Pacquiao until that basketball game

Bro there are no promoters in UFC Dana calls all the shots and does the negotiating so yes he will be the one negotiating the fight with AL Haymon NOT Floyd.

I'm confused. Isn't that what happens every Saint Paddy's day?
